Re: [LUG] Linux on SPARC

I have just inherited a Sun SunBlade 1000 machine.  It would seem that
it uses the UltraSPARC III CPU.  This would be my first outing into the
non x86 world.  We are looking to setup 3 virtual machines on this
box.  I'm happy to setup Debian as the base system (Debian still
actively supports the SPARC/SPARC64 arch. doesn't it?) but the guys for
whom this machine is being setup have asked for a RedHat/Fedora type
system installed on the virtual machines.

What is the reason for not using Solaris?
